Invitation to tender for development of URA's Third Street/ Yu Lok Lane/ Centre Street Project in Sai Ying Pun
The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) today (Friday) invited a total
of 17 property developers to tender for the joint development of
the Third Street/ Yu Lok Lane/ Centre Street Project in Sai Ying
Pun.
The project site is about 2,150 square metres and upon completion
is expected to deliver a maximum gross floor area of about 16,460
square metres mainly for residential use, together with the
provision of public open space of about 1,180 square metres. URA
plans to provide more small-sized units in this project which will
be smaller than 46.5 square metres, i.e. about 500 square feet. As
a result, this development will provide about 270 residential
units.
There is also a plan to preserve a pair of existing tenement
buildings for adaptive re-use, and implement a theme to
re-captivate the laneway character by integrating with those
preserved elements of existing tenement buildings in the
design.
Following the expression of interest exercise which was closed on
30 July 2010, a tender review panel under the URA Board has decided
to invite 17 interested property developers for tender (full list
at annex), after taking into consideration their experience and
financial strength to undertake the development in accordance with
the requirements and criteria set by the Authority.
All tender submissions should reach the URA Headquarters at 10/F
Low Block, Grand Millennium Plaza, 181 Queen's Road Central, by
5:00 pm on 13 September 2010.
